RL Winston Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5
$ 1,375
2502
An RL Winston bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for what feels like a #5. San Francisco era rod. The rod weighs 2.9 ounces on my scale (the blank has it listed at an even 3). Medium full flexing action. The script on the butt notes the maker, length, weight, serial number (#1185), and the Winston patent number. Good used condition with some light hand soiling to the grip, a few small scrapes to the varnish on the butt section, and some overall light cosmetic signs of use. One tip has a right handed set, while the other is reasonably straight. Medium colored cane done in a three up node pattern. Wrapped in putty with maroon tipping at the keeper, signature wraps, and ferrules, the latter of which has the typical Winston overwrap. Keeper, carbide stripper, with light bronze guides and chrome tip tops. The grip has a wells profile whose bottom transitions to an all cork reel seat. Conical front cork check with two trim marks put in it. The slide band seat is aluminum with a composite face to the butt cap to hold it in place. The rod packs into a bright red cloth bag and original aluminum tube with the San Francisco era sticker affixed which is 90% intact.

There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
